Shaq is heading to Baltimore on Monday to take care of his severly sprained thumb which he injured against the Celtics last week going up for a dunk when he was fouled. On one hand it’s funny because Shaq sprained his thumb and acted like nothing even happened, but if I had done something like that you’d know it; that’s why Shaq is the closest thing to Superman and I’m sitting here writing about it.
Shaq is having surgery on his thumb and the typical recovery time is 6-9 weeks and there are …
Spurs 113, Suns 110
It’s pretty incredible that the Suns have Amare Stoudemire drop 41 points, and lose. What is even more remarkable is that the Spurs leading scorer only put up half of Amare’s points.
Oh, but it gets worse. How did the Suns really lose this game? A missed dunk. Jason Richardson missed a dunk with 41 seconds left that would have tied up the game. San Antonio made them pay after that, hitting 9 of 9 foul shots after that point. What was evident was the impressive play of …
Tonight Shooter and I drove to the IZOD Center to watch the New Jersey Nets square off against the Washington Wizards. Little did we know, that Andray Blatche decided to put on a show. Blatche finished with 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists. Blatche is a guy who was drafted straight out of high school late in the second round in 2005. The past two seasons he came off the bench being fairly productive for the Wizards. As most of you know that the Wizards have decided to rebuild …

Nets 104, Celtics 96
It’s obvious that the Nets win over the Celtics has yet to sink in for me, because I am still waiting for them to blow the game as they have so many times this year. Note to self: The game is over!
Here’s the lowdown on this game… It was a 1pm matinee and there was plenty of college basketball on TV. Going into the game, I knew the Nets would lose because they were playing the Celtics, in Boston nonetheless. Butttttttt, I decided to watch anyway. The …
Ladies and Gents, you’re all in for a treat, as Bud Light has unofficially sponsored this post. Let’s begin.
Cavaliers 126, Raptors 118 (OT)
LeBron. LeBron. LeBron. LeBron was shaken up, taking a knee to the quad early in this game, but he recovered well, pouring in 36 points to go along with 6 rebounds, and 9 assists. Toronto was gutsy in this game though, playing without superstar Chris Bosh. Andrea Bargnani and Jarrett Jack each had 24, but at the end of the day, the Cavs, playing without LeShaq, won …
There were plenty of amazing battles on this Friday night, and I am actually considering myself lucky to be coped up at home ‘forced’ to watch awesome NBA action! Oh yeah, and I apologize for my terrible headline, but I thought it was moderately clever. Let’s get to some of the great games from Friday night!
Mavericks 111, Hawks 103 (OT)
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game such as this one – where neither team could grab a hold of the game.
The quarter-by-quarter scoring shows exactly how back-and-forth this …
